Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 251 Fruit Thief

Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't wait to put it on. It pinched her toes a little, but it was much better than being barefoot.

"Look, Sister Monkey." Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her foot and shook it.

Monkey sister with starry eyes: The cubs are so amazing!

Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her chin proudly, waved her little hand and said, "Let's go and see if there are any other good things."

Unfortunately, this factory area had been raided over and over again by the survivors who went up the mountain to hunt. Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't find even a piece of iron. Even the window frames and intact glass on the windows had been taken away.

However, this abandoned factory is suitable for use as a temporary camp.

Just as Zhao Xiaoxiu was thinking this, there was a sudden noise coming from the waste pile behind him. Monkey Sister, who was hanging upside down on the beam, jumped down immediately and nervously protected Zhao Xiaoxiu.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was also startled. He pulled out his pistol and looked back. The waste pile was covered with a layer of green vines that were shaking.

Suddenly, a dark hand stretched out from under the waste pile. It seemed slow, but in fact, in less than three seconds, a humanoid creature covered in black jumped towards Zhao Xiaoxiu with a roar.

It's a White Walker.

Zhao Xiaoxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a human.

Sister Monkey pounced forward fiercely, and together with the White Walker, she fell heavily to the ground from mid-air with a bang.

It was just that the White Walker was below and the Monkey King was above. She held down the White Walker's upper body with her strong and sturdy arms, lowered her head to reveal her sharp fangs, and tore off the White Walker's fragile neck and head in one bite. She then shook the monkey head and threw it aside.

The head and body were separated, but the White Walker was still active. However, after shaking for a while, the body became completely quiet, leaving only a disgusting rotten head, with its upper and lower jaws constantly biting together.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took two or three steps forward, picked up the waste on the ground and smashed it hard. In an instant, slurry spurted out and the person died instantly.

It seems that this place is not very comfortable to live in. Zhao Xiaoxiu clapped his hands, shrugged his shoulders, called Sister Monkey, and left the factory.

The sun was about to set, and Zhao Xiaoxiu had only picked some fruits. The mutant animals might have smelled her scent and did not pass by her at all, so she could not find any prey even if she wanted to hunt.

Zhao Xiaoxiu used to think that this ability was great, but now... He rubbed his flat belly, feeling empty at all. He just wanted a mutant animal to fall from the sky so he could eat its meat.

Because she had to take care of her, Sister Monkey never left her side and would never leave alone to hunt.

Fortunately, it is not a picky eater and thinks the wild fruits are delicious.

A monkey and a child picked half a pocket of edible mutant fruits and returned to the camp before the sun set.

No one came here today, and there was no sign of strangers around the camp.

However, on the way back to the camp, Zhao Xiaoxiu heard someone talking, which meant that there were often people coming near the mining area.

She could only pray that the survivors would not come here before Xiwa came back.

Zhao Xiaoxiu scooped the unfiltered lake water into a frying pan and boiled it on a small gas stove.

After cooling down, I took a bite of wild fruit and a sip of water. After eating more than a dozen wild fruits, I finally felt full.

Peter Pan guarded the lake by himself and looked for food at the bottom of the lake. They were all stinky fish and shrimp, which were nothing compared to the low-level mutant animal meat that the little master had fed him before.

A year of comfortable life in its territory made it forget that it used to grow up in a heavily polluted river, eating stinky fish and shrimps.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After dinner, both the master and the servant were a little depressed, and Zhao Xiaoxiu even missed the mushy nutrient solution that tasted bad.

Only Sister Monkey was dancing happily by the lake.

Both the master and the servant were very curious about why it was so happy. Sister Monkey squeaked and said excitedly: There are two big moons tonight.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was startled, and looked up to see a bright moon in the sky. Looking down, she saw a big moon reflected in the lake, really two of them.

It was just the end of August and the temperature at night was a little lower than during the day, but it was okay, about 14 or 15 degrees. Wrapped in a sleeping bag, Zhao Xiaoxiu gradually fell asleep.

Only when you sleep do you feel that time passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s already the next day.

When I woke up in the morning, the lakeside was quiet and white mist was floating on the lake, which looked very fairy-like.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stretched, stretched her arms and legs, and started another day of looking for food with Sister Monkey.

Zhao Xiaoxiu planned to ask Sister Monkey to take her to the valley where they had met before. The valley was full of mature mutant fruit trees and she should be able to have a good harvest.

She planned to pick enough for three days, and then stayed by the lake waiting for Xiwa to come back, and she would not go out again.

Zhao Xiaoxiu has good hearing and she always hears people talking nearby. Although they are not members of the search team, meeting other strangers is also a huge threat to her.

She wasn't ready to kill anyone yet, so it was best not to let her meet anyone.

Under the guidance of Zhao Xiaoxiu, Sister Monkey avoided three small hunting teams and spent an hour successfully finding the valley, where she saw the mature fruit trees throughout the valley.

At this time of year, most of the fruits in the mountains are ripe, hanging on the treetops in various colors, as dreamy as a small forest in a fairy tale world.

But beneath this dreamy veil, there is a deep danger hidden.

There are several groups of mutant birds in the orchard, guarding these fruit trees specifically. They will not actively attack mutants that are just passing by.

But if other mutants or humans want to take the fruit trees, they will immediately attack you in groups and try to kill you.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu was alone before, she picked a lot of fruits to eat, but the group of mutant birds were indifferent to her behavior.

So Zhao Xiaoxiu left Sister Monkey on the outskirts of the valley, sneaked in himself, and carried out the fruits one batch at a time.

Strangely enough, these mutant birds watched her steal her home but did not attack her.

However, when Zhao Xiaoxiu picked twice as many fruits in her last trip as in the previous ones, the leader of the flock of birds suddenly spread its wings and flew up, circling over her head and singing loudly as if warning her.

"Hehe~" Zhao Xiaoxiu gave it an innocent smile, turned around, hugged a bag full of fruits, and ran away!
The bird boss was furious and swooped down with a scream. He had never seen such a shameless human cub. He had asked her to take so many fruits, but she wanted to take more. How abominable!
A sharp wind blew over Zhao Xiaoxiu's head. She took a breath of cold air, dived into the mutated thorn bush, commanded the plants to make way, and ran as fast as her legs could. Soon she reached the edge of the valley.

The big bird was almost angry to death. The thorn bush blocked its way. It tried to stretch out its claws several times but failed to catch the greedy cub. Instead, it was pricked by the thorns.

Soon, the sound of birds flapping their wings "Hualala" rang out in the valley. Under the call of the bird leader, the mutant bird flock in the forest launched a fierce hunt for the greedy fruit thief.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sister Monkey screamed in panic.

"Monkey Sister!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu came out from the bushes, and Sister Monkey immediately went forward to pick her up, holding the cub in one hand and climbing up the vine in front with the other hand, swinging back and forth and quickly fleeing the scene.
